JOIN THE CLUB. TRAIN LIKE A ROYAL.
At Woodland FC, we believe soccer is more than a sport—it’s a way of life that unites individuals, builds character, and strengthens communities. Founded in 2023, our club has grown to become a beacon of excellence and camaraderie, both on and off the field.
Our Men's Vision
Our men's team competes in the Midwest Premier League and carries the Woodland crest with pride every match. Built on passion, teamwork, and tradition, the squad is committed to growing the club and creating a legacy our community can be proud of.
Our Story
Woodland Football Club was founded in 2023 by Ross Harris in Shawnee, Kansas. The men's team began in the Select League with a small but dedicated squad of players.
In 2024, Woodland won the inaugural season of the Select League, earning a place in the U.S. Open Cup. In 2026, the club became the first team in Kansas to join the Midwest Premier League.
In October 2026, Woodland FC joined Guardians Sports. The club's staff stays together, with Ross Harris as President and Chandler Givler as head coach of the men's team.

United By Tradition
We honor the traditions of the game while embracing modern coaching and player development. Every training session, every match, and every lesson learned along the way is part of a larger story of growth, pride, and unity.
We are proud of our community, our supporters, and the relationships we have built. Together, we grow stronger. Further Up. Further In.
The ROYAL SHIELD.
Our history is our strength. We honor our roots and strive to preserve the values that have guided us since our founding. The Royal Shield is a testament to the power of tradition and the importance of remembering where we came from.
